    When I used to work in Domino's I would always offer free food every now and again to the really regular customers (those that order weekly etc.). Only if I was in a generous mood though!

    I'm in Lancashire, it recently cost me £2.50 for regular chips & gravy.

    50p is a bargain - how many chips do you get? at that rate Id say about 6 :D:D

    tee hee, I get a regular portion. But the chippy gives there regular portion like they are giving you chips for two maybe three people hence it being very popular.

    That's the downside of living in Bath, chips are expensive and not a single pound shop! Upside is that it is rather lovely though :)

    Praps chippies should start doin small, medium and large portions - maybe put goldfish on the menu for smaller appetites... problem solved - hang on queue in ours is bad enough without chip counting, bin that idea.
